Need shower tray repair in Nateby?

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

About our shower tray repair in Nateby

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Nateby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Nateby, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Nateby questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Nateby?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Nateby and the rest of Lancashire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Nateby, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Nateby

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
